Applesplaining 

Applesplaining is a term that describes a situation similar to mansplaining but specifically when it is being done by a person named Apple. The term is a playful blend of "Apple," the name, and "explaining." Just like mansplaining, applesplaining involves condescendingly explaining something to someone, typically a topic in which the person being "applesplained" is already knowledgeable or competent.

Origins:
The term "applesplaining" likely emerged as an evolution of the concept of "mansplaining," which gained popularity as a way to describe situations where men patronizingly explain things to women. It humorously incorporates the name "Apple" to create a distinctive term for such behavior exhibited by someone with that name.
"Ugh, I was talking about the latest advancements in quantum mechanics, and Apple totally started applesplaining it to me as if I didn't know anything about the subject."

"I can't stand how Apple keeps applesplaining politics to everyone in the room, even though they have little understanding of the topic."

Stop defending your words. You are ablesplaining!

i.e.
"I can use words like stupid, retard, moron, and idiot because they are just language and aren't meant to offend anyone."

"But you don't look like you have a disability!"

"Look at that person parking in an accessible parking space! They don't need a wheelchair so they are just taking advantage of the system."

"That child doesn't look autistic to me, the parents just need to discipline him/her."

"We are in compliance with ADA because we have wheelchair ramps and accessible bathroom stalls."
